Chapter 133: Tailai Tea House
The sedan chair fell, Liu Zhi followed the soldiers straight to Yu Yong's study, there were only two people in the room at this time, Liu Zhi pointed out his intentions, and said to Yu Yong: "Lord Yu, on the execution ground today, what Xiao Yao said is not unreasonable, the official thought twice, and determined that the real murderer must be someone else, as an official, he can't let go of a prisoner, and he can't wronged a good person, since there is not enough evidence to prove that he is the real murderer of the Meng family tragedy, should he be acquitted?" ”
Yu Yong was stunned when he heard this, in fact, he already knew that Xiao Yao was not the real murderer, he was just using him as bait, wanting to lure Ling Xuan and the others out of the net. stared at Liu Zhi suspiciously, and couldn't help asking, "Lord Liu's attitudes before and after are diametrically opposed, I don't know why?" ”
Liu Zhi forgot his eyes left and right out of caution, got close to Yu Yong's body, and said in his ear: "Don't hide it, Lord Yu, we don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, this official has just learned that Xiao Yao is actually a person valued by the King of Qin, not to mention that we have no evidence to accuse him of being a murderer, even if there is, you dare to ignore the prince and behead him?" We might as well let him go, maybe one day he can be appreciated by the prince, at that time, hehe..."
I see, Yu Yongdeng's heart is like a mirror. Then to Liu Zhi's surprise, Yu Yong was not moved, and only listened to him say: "Lord Liu, since this is the case, I will also make it clear to you that before the real murderer is caught, this Xiao Yao must not be released!" Otherwise, it will be difficult to catch the real culprit. "The attitude is more resolute.
"You..." Liu Zhi's heart was blocked, and he was a little depressed. secretly scolded him for being a dead brain, ignorant of current affairs, and kindly helped him, but he didn't expect him to be so unpopular, and he deserved to be a local festival envoy for the rest of his life.
"Are you really going to let go?"
"Can't put it!"
"Good, good! The Tao is not the same, you can do it yourself! Liu Zhi said three good things in a row, but he was so angry by Yu Yong's stubborn temper that the matter was not done, he was slightly angry in his heart, and he threw his sleeves and left.
Out of the barracks, he ordered the palanquin man to go straight to the "Tailai Tea House" in the city, it was getting late at this time, and there were only a few guys left in the tea house to sit on a table and chair to rest. Liu Zhi is no stranger to this place, he has been here a few times before, but when he came back today, he looked different, walked to the counter, and asked, "Is your host here?" Trouble spreads. ”
At this time, there was a guy who was cleaning up the accounts at the counter, and when he saw Liu Zhi, he was startled, and hurriedly put down the guy in his hand and ran out to greet him: "Lord Liu is here, and he has not been far away, and he hopes to forgive his sins." Please, later, I'll go and ask the owner. ”
In an elegant room on the third floor of the tea house, Liu Zhi sat opposite the owner of this tea house, which was a little unnatural, and it turned out that the owner was the mysterious person before. Liu Zhi truthfully reported the situation just now to him, and put all the responsibility on Yu Yong, which means that he insisted that he release him, but he did not listen to the advice and resolutely refused to let go.
"Okay, I see, stand down. You don't need to meddle in this matter, I'll take care of it. Asked Liu Zhi to retreat, Qin Tai found pen and paper, and sent a letter to someone.
On the second day, the sky was just slightly bright, and there were few people on the streets of Baling City, which seemed a little deserted. At this moment, I saw two soldiers in armor galloping through the city and rushing towards the military camp in the east of the city.
The two rode to the gate of the barracks, only to hear one of them shouting: "Go and spread the word, the chief soldier has arrived!" When the soldier at the door saw the momentum of the two men, and heard the man shouting, he hurriedly turned around and ran inside to spread the word.
In the middle of the night, Yu Yong hurriedly came to the door with his deputy general Zhu Yun, and when he saw that he was alone, he grinned loudly, and walked forward and shouted: "Lao Xu, what kind of wind blew you over, could it be that you came over to drink?" Haha~ Lao Tzu is worried that there is no one to accompany him! ”
Xu Zhen, who was riding on a horse, temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart and snorted: "Look at your cowardice, which time did you drink and not lose to me?" Dare to drink in front of me! Eggs that didn't grow! ”
The two brothers in life and death for more than ten years have fought side by side on the battlefield countless times, how many times they have saved each other's lives under the iron hooves of the enemy, and how many times have they suffered the fatal knife for each other. After more than ten years of hard work, he has made great achievements, just because of the difference in personality, one of the two is now just a local county and county festival envoy, while the other has been promoted to become a provincial commander.
If someone else pointed at his nose and scolded him like this, Yu Yong would have been angry a long time ago, but in the face of the person in front of him, he could only laugh and say: "Although Lao Tzu can't drink you, he will never admit defeat, it's a big deal to get drunk and sleep, and then drink the next day!" Hey. ”
Xu Zhen got off the horse, followed Yu Yong into the barracks, drank back the others, and the two came to the study alone. Without anyone else, Xu Zhen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, slammed the table, and yelled at Yu Yong: "After so many years, why are you still so ungrown?!" Do you know the real reason why I'm here today? ”
Seeing Yu Yong holding two jars of wine in his arms, and then thinking of the troubles he caused, the anger in his heart became more and more intense, and he was a little angry.
Yu Yong is not a fool, thinking of what has happened in the past few days, he can guess eight or nine, put two jars of water and wine on the table, pulled over a bench and sat down, and said lightly: "It's not just for that Xiao Yao." ”
"You're not stupid enough to just know how to drink!" Xu Zhen sat opposite him, pulled the stopper on the wine jar, grabbed the jar with one hand, and poured a few mouthfuls directly into his stomach to quench his thirst. I came all the way from a hundred miles away overnight, and I didn't dare to stop and drink a sip of water, for fear of missing a big event.
After a few sips of wine, he said to Yu Yong again: "You know that Xiao Yao is the person of the King of Qin, why do you still hold on to him?" Do you know that if you offend the King of Qin, you are likely to be just a festival envoy for the rest of your life? ”
Xu Zhen was familiar with Yu Yong's temperament, and he didn't dare to tell him, in fact, when he received the letter last night, it was mentioned in the letter that if Yu Yong didn't know the current affairs anymore, then he would be considered the end of his temperance, and only give Xu Zhen three days to solve this matter. Three days later, the matter was resolved, and everyone was safe, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether he, the chief soldier, could be saved.
After listening to Xu Zhen's words, Yu Yong frowned, a little angry, and snorted: "Lao Tzu's ability is limited, you don't have the ability, you don't have the ability, you won't flatter, you tend to be inflammatory, it's normal that you can't rise, Lao Tzu only wants to be worthy of his heart, worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, worthy of his parents and people, I just want to catch the real murderer, what's wrong?!" ”
Yu Yong's words were full of dissatisfaction, and he said what he thought, but he didn't mean anything, and Xu Zhen thought he was scolding himself around the corner when he heard it, and he was immediately even more annoyed, slammed the table, and said angrily: "You bastard, you were kicked in the head by a donkey?" Don't you know what kind of person Lao Tzu is? ”
